To be a host for Golden Globe it takes 6 mos. to prepare but he was asked ten days prior…you did great Jokoy!

[demetriusbadua]

Joseph! You did great my brother. The BEST impromptu Golden Globes Host EVER. 10 DAYS for a Year-Anticipated event! Blame the organizers for not giving more time for preparation not JoKoy for scrambling last minute to Host!

I have seen some reactions from some celebrities and most were happy and liked Jokoy! Forget about Taylor Swift it is not even offensive.

[BeeGrateful]

Tough tough crowd Jokoy. It’s okay. We are still proud of you.👏

I think he did a good job. I see why most comedians don’t want to host these shows anymore. People get mad at everything.

[imeldadantes]

Agree with Jokoy. He was very good and did not do off remarks .... 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[rosylinhortelano]

You saved the Golden Globes coz no one wanted to host it. They should thank you. Look at the best of the best, Meryll Streep, Robert De Niro, Steven Spielberg, to name a few, were laughing, thanking you for doing it… GOD BLESS YOU❤️💕🙏

Taylor Swift did not get the joke…. that it was not about her.

[Damienp]

Why bother having the hosts be comedians then if everyone gets offended over the jokes.

[lindalim]

You can't put a good man down. Mabuhay Jokoy.

[jessicasarmiento]

[CherryGarcia-vu]

They should be thankful that Jokoy accepted the challenge .. the gig that no one wants to have after that “slapping” incident .

Whoopi Goldberg. Steve Martin. Kevin Hart. All of them got JOKOY'S back. Nuf said.
